[s-cars] 1st Gear Whine/moan unrelated to engine

[Rit Bellis]

Hey friends: just developed a loud rumbling/moaning sound from front of 
93s4: gets louder as speed increases, push clutch in, no change in volume, 
put in neutral, volume descends as speed decreases, stops at about 20mph. 
Front tires aren't the best, but still have tread all the way across.  When 
backing up and turning wheels to left/drivers side, there is a weird hitch 
in right/passenger side wheel, like it momentarily sticks, then breaks free 
(feels almost like an old detroit locker) What am I looking at?  Wheel 
Bearing?  CV Joint?  front diff? Thanks!
